It belongs to the family of oxidoreductases (enzymes involved in redox reactions), specifically those acting on the CH−OH group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-lactate:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase. It employs one cofactor, flavin mononucleotide.[4] The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is similar to that in lactate 2-monooxygenase, which converts lactate to acetate and carbon dioxide. The difference in the products formed has been ascribed to differences in the stability of an intermediate complex.[3]

The enzyme was first isolated and characterised from the bacterium Aerococcus viridans.[2] The relevant genes from Streptococcus iniae were subsequently cloned to allow further study.[5] These developments have allowed the enzyme to be used in biosensors which measure the concentration of lactic acid in blood.[1][6][7]
